Yup, we’ve played every Borderlands game, It Takes Two, Palworld, Rotwood, PlateUp, LEGO Harry Potter, Deep Rock Galactic, Outward, Stardew Valley, Cult of the Lamb, Sea of Thieves, Baldur’s Gate 3, Grounded, Don’t Starve Together… We also play other ‘competitive’ games co-op against bots, like in Beyond All Reason, Marvel Rivals, Overwatch, and Predecessor. I could go on but I could list games for a while. Definitely always looking for new ones though.

Should really check that one out, I’ve always heard good things

Say what you want, but Mavuika is fun as hell to play in overworld

Nifflas doesn’t get enough recognition! I’m surprised they went with Within A Deep Forest though, I would have thought Night Sky is his most recognizable game.

That being said, his older works like WADF and Saira are great.

@Zoomboingding@lemmy.world avatar

Hell yeah, my group has been playing that for a few months now. I should donate to the devs because it’s such a great free game.

Genshin is in year 5, so it’s still an impressive number. Plus they have 3 other live service games running concurrently (one released this past July)

Zoomboingding,
@Zoomboingding@lemmy.world avatar

Yup, it doesn’t make a difference if you pay for:

  • a box containing random items (Overwatch 1)
  • a key to open boxes you find for free (Guild Wars 2)
  • an incubator to hatch an egg with a random creature (Pokemon GO)
  • a wish to reward a random character but there’s a guarantee after 80 wishes to get one exact character (Genshin Impact)

At the same time, the Switch is such a solid console that a hardware upgrade with full backwards compatibility* is really the best case scenario. People have wanted a bigger screen, better chip, and better joysticks since launch, and now we’ll have them!

*the video says it’s not 100% compatible, but I’m assuming that’s for stuff like Labo and Ring Fit that need those exact joycon sizes/shapes.

Every studio does this though. “Media Blackout” is just everything up to the reveal trailer.

Zoomboingding,
@Zoomboingding@lemmy.world avatar

It barely qualifies as a teaser, but I concede that.

Zoomboingding,
@Zoomboingding@lemmy.world avatar

That would be an interesting challenge: to play a game suboptimally, intentionally rhythmic.

HZD actually has a fantastic story and a great setting. With some recent successful game movies, I can see this one actually being good. But does Sony have much of a track record here? Uncharted was bad.

Longtime buddy of mine just got a gaming PC. What games would make up a good "welcome to PC" care package?

The issue is that I think there are Steam bundles that can’t be gifted, such as the Valve pack and that kind of thing. That also makes something like Civ 6 less likely, just because of the DLC bundles. I can also use Fanatical or Humble but frankly the region thing might be an issue....

Big shout out to Beyond All Reason. It’s an RTS game that’s free and open source that I’ve been playing with my friends for a few weeks now. Not even a fan of RTS games, but it’s a lot of fun to play co-op matches against AI.

Rotwood is a good one. Co-op Roguelite beat-em-up from the Don’t Starve guys.

Lethal Company is just lots of fun, we’ve gotten too much time out of that dumb game. Maybe check out Content Warning if you like LC but want a change.

Outward is a fantastic old-school RPG for two people, has all the traits of a game from 2002

Palworld - haven’t hopped back into this one since its launch but have been meaning to. But this type of game is definitely not underrepresented on the market.

Escape Simulator is a nice stress-free co-op escape room game, lots of official content and also has Steam Workshop so there’s tons of great content.

PlateUp! if you’re not worried about getting into a fight over how awful your buddy is at making food

Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos is a Zelda-like RPG that’s a surprising amount of fun for how simple the game first looks.

Other bigname recs: Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, Baldur’s Gate 3, Sea of Thieves, Deep Rock Galactic, Stardew Valley

I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store (lemmy.world)

Nothing more disappointing to me than seeing a game I might enjoy… and then it’s only available on PC on Epic Games store. Why can’t it be available on Epic, Xbox game store and Steam? It’s so annoying, like you have no choice but to use Epic… which I would literally do ANYTHING not to use.

Zoomboingding,
@Zoomboingding@lemmy.world avatar

they pay devs millions

I mean I see this as a good thing. I have to keep a separate launcher around but… at least that dev is getting a great deal and will probably be able to support that game for a while (or start their next one)

Productivity App | Ithya: Magic Studies on Steam (store.steampowered.com)

Thought I’d share this i recently came across, while not strictly a game per se - its still on steam and might be a nice find for people into these sorts of productivity apps. Game is made by an original lofi artist called Blue Turtle, who makes some really good and relaxing lofi mixes....

Zoomboingding,
@Zoomboingding@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah I saw the thumbnail and ‘steam game’ and had a moment of confusion. Fantastic background music for D&D, and the animations are simple but endearing. Also, it looks like new lore in the steam app (world map)!! I do like this setting, and I’d like to learn more~

But yeah Blue Turtle doesn’t make the music, which is the highlight of the series. I wonder if the steam app licenses them? Or are they royalty free?

Wise actually worked with OC Remix on the DKC album!

It’s fantastic to see an article like this in the Times. His work continues to be incredible, with more recent works like Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair and Gimmick 2.

It’s a spiritual successor to System Shock 2, which was a pleasant surprise. Definitely agree that Neuroshock would have been a more fitting title. Probably publisher or C suite meddling.

Well Nintendo is playtesting a Minecraft-style MMO so hopefully they’ve put resources towards better online play.

Currently downloading The Witcher 3 for the first time. Got any advice for me? (lemmy.world)

So I just read this book on history of games called “Blood, Sweat and Pixels” and was fascinated by the chapter on The Witcher 3 and mostly how the team put in so much thought and care in every single side quest. And seems that there are a lot of moral decision to be made on each adventure. So I finally decided to give it a...

If Concord doesn’t see a F2P re-release, it will DEFINITELY be some highly-sought cultural relic in the future

Until there’s combat, I don’t think there’s going to be any significant risk/reward choices. Basically you choose the right gear loadout and head to an activity; you can try to optimize by planning a route, trying to keep your inventory from getting full, etc. There’s also low drop rate collectables, so it’s a risk to try to find it vs. spending your time on some guaranteed progression.

But at the end of the day, it’s a super lightweight step tracking game that gives me some cute in-game progress for when I have to run to the grocery store, or I can make sure I queue up something good before I run a 10k.

Can anyone suggest some good co-op games for two people?

Hello all! My buddy and I finally finished up Baldur’s Gate 3 this week and we are not left with a giant co-op game shaped whole in our hearts. It was such an incredible experience and it was truly even more fun running through it together. We are excited to hop into another game, but we have no idea what to play. We’ve...

In the same vein, check out Klei’s new game Rotwood. I’m early access, but well worth the price, and will no doubt receive updates for years to come.

Your ship computer shows hints and places you haven’t fully explored. Alternatively you could say where you are and helpful internet people can give you a nudge.

@Zoomboingding@lemmy.world avatar

Combat is a bit better after the first major patch, it added heavy attacks and some new weapon types. But if you didn’t enjoy the attack-dodge roll kind of gameplay, it doesn’t fundamentally change that.

But the updates did add a lot of little stuff all around the game

@games What demos did you try today? | DAY 2

Greetings festive fellowship of the fediverse, it's the second day of the , and there are still many games to discover and discuss, let's share our mutual discoveries of today

Zoomboingding,
@Zoomboingding@lemmy.world avatar

Goblin Cleanup - I never got around to Viscera Cleanup Detail, so I figured I’d give the demo of this a shot. Honestly, it was a great few hours with 2 friends for free. You play as goblin maids cleaning up a dungeon after (presumably) a TPK. You have to mop blood using slimes, put furnature back in place, feed meat chunks to a mimic, and power up traps using a mana device. Oh, and the traps will kill you too… causing extra work for you (or your laughing/annoyed friends).

Zoomboingding,
@Zoomboingding@lemmy.world avatar

This could be the first major game to properly implement a truly infinite divergent quest system! There have been plenty of attempts in the past, but this team has a lot of experience with procedural generation. Looking forward to this one.

Zoomboingding,
@Zoomboingding@lemmy.world avatar

You mean another one? Impossible Lair was actually great.

@Zoomboingding@lemmy.world avatar

Try out Predecessor, it’s F2P and exactly this

Perfect Dark Reboot Is Allegedly In Bad Shape (www.gamespot.com)

I don’t think big companies know how to make a good FPS campaign anymore, let alone hone in on classic deathmatch multiplayer. The last FPS I bought was Half-Life: Alyx four years ago, and the first one to come along and interest me since then was Phantom Fury, but I’m letting that one iron out bugs for a few weeks before I...

Zoomboingding,
@Zoomboingding@lemmy.world avatar

Probably not exactly what you’re looking for, but Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands was a great campaign that’s technically an FPS with a lot of RPG heaped on top.

SNES??? How could RPS do Sega dirty like that…

EDIT: rofl there’s an update to the article:

Update 26th April 2024: As has been pointed out to me overnight by a thousand helpful, furious strangers, describing a Sega fangame (one with Saturn button prompts, no less) as “SNES-style” is a crime deserving of imprisonment in the deepest depths of the Labyrinth Zone. Speaking as a former Genesis/Mega Drive diehard, I can only hang my head.

Zoomboingding,
@Zoomboingding@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, not much of an emotional reaction from me, beyond a slightly incredulous laugh and an extended wow punctuated by gawking in awe. Definitely should have brought my 'nocs!

Zoomboingding,
@Zoomboingding@lemmy.world avatar

I was hyped for Animal Well before it got picked up by Big Mode, but the signal boost it’s gotten has me excited that it’ll be a big thing for a few weeks. This kind of game doesn’t often go viral.

If you want something similar in the meantime, I highly recommend Knytt Underground, Rain World, or Gato Roboto. Or check out Within A Deep Forest for free.

Zoomboingding,
@Zoomboingding@lemmy.world avatar

Definitely trying this one out. I’ve been a daily POGO player since launch because it gets me outside walking around. I liked how Pikmin Bloom had the passive pedometer angle, but it also had to constantly check GPS, so it was a battery hog.

I’d definitely benefit from Google Fit integration since I like to use the elliptical while wearing my watch. But I’d still get plenty of distance with just pedometer. Least of which because I’ll already be playing POGO.

Zoomboingding,
@Zoomboingding@lemmy.world avatar

Legends means it’ll use the open world battling and catching mechanics seen in Legends Arceus.

Also features city planning, could be post-war reconstruction in the past (3000 years ago).

Also, the mega symbol at the end implies new Mega Pokemon.

And since it has a 2025 release date, hopefully it will have enough time to bug fix. Likely, it will use the existing Legends Arceus engine so hopefully that allows them more time to refine.

Zoomboingding,
@Zoomboingding@lemmy.world avatar

Never understood the dislike for the controller. Have you ever used it?

Zoomboingding,
@Zoomboingding@lemmy.world avatar

Have you played Pikmin 2 or 3? Those use adaptive midi tracks based on what happens in boss fights/caves.

Zoomboingding,
@Zoomboingding@lemmy.world avatar

Such a shame more games don’t use this. It worked for PSO because fights were relatively drawn out/telegraphed, so there was always a chance to build up/slow down the music.

I wonder if AI could get used to dynamically generate a transition between battle/overworld themes. Or at least, if the composer makes one and use AI to make all necessary versions.
